just wondering what people have done to their arb front bars after a body lift for it to match up with the body nicely. pics would be great |

either make a new one or cut and shut the mounts. I suggest people make a straight vertical cut where applicable and weld on a bit of flat bar to the chassis mount section with 3 hole 50mm apart and then drill 2 holes in the bar that allow the bar to be in the original or lifted position. I'm all up for making things reversible if possible. Really depends on how your bar mounts and available space. |

DON'T CUT THE BAR OR CHASSIS!...on all the bar lifts i have done i have never cut the bar or the chassis, just made some simple mounts on top of the chassis. bear with me as i'm going on a trip in the morning for the long weekend. will try post some pics and or cad drawings when i get back. |

I've done it like Joe says and it works fine. I just cuts some adapter brackets from some 5mm plate. They bolt to the chassis, then the bullbar bolts to them, easy. It does move the bar forward a little, but it shouldn't hurt your appraoch angle much. The shackles are usually the first things to hit anyway. I do also have another ARB bar that has been cut and brackets welded to it. It works, but there are better ways. |
